Notre Dame will host Louisville, North Carolina and Wake Forest in its first year of a partial ACC football schedule in 2014, sources told ESPN on Friday. As part of Notre Dame's move to the ACC as a full member in all sports but football, the Fighting Irish will annually play five ACC opponents beginning in 2014.
In 2014, the Irish will also visit Florida State and play Syracuse at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., sources said. In 2015, Notre Dame will host Boston College and Georgia Tech and visit Clemson, Pittsburgh and Virginia. In 2016, Notre Dame will host Duke, Miami and Virginia Tech and visit NC State and Syracuse.
Adding Notre Dame to the ACC's schedule will be a boost for the league from a strength of schedule standpoint as the NCAA switches to a playoff format beginning in 2014. Upon their scheduling agreement, every ACC is guaranteed to play the Fighting Irish once every three years and each ACC school will host Notre Dame at least once every six seasons.
